Policemen Butcher the People In Ro-
chester..-The Details.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, June 27.-This morn
ing about 400 laborers in the employ of
the contractors of the city streets struck
for an increase of wages. This afternoon
the contractors put on a force of new
men and trouble ensued. A mob of 200
or more strikers and friends gathered on
Gorham street and attacked the new IN en-
with stones, etc.
A squad of officers who came were like
wise assaulted, and after several futile at
tempts to disperse the men opened fire
with their revolvers. When the fight was
over II was found that two policemen
were seriously injured by stones. Three
of the mob we're badly dubbed and shot
through the head. Two more were shot,
but we're carried away by friends. One
has since died. The city is now quiet but
trouble is feared tomorrow.

claw Abiding Chinese,

san Francisco Examiner, June y.
The Chinese gamblers have lately fitted
up an elaborate lottery den at No. 617
Commercial street, which is well calculated
to defy the efforts of the police who de-
sire to raid the place. Sergeant Thomp-
son, of the Chinatown squad and num-
ber of reporters inspected the place yes
terday. The front of the den is ostensi
bly, fancy goods store kept by Lee Ching
4 Co. In the rear are three rooms sup
piled with all the apparatus necessary to
prevent the entrance of minions of the law.
The oaken doors are five inches thick,
bound with sheet-iron. They are closed
by means of spring locks and bolts.
There are eight doors, aud a system of
wires so arranged that one guard can pull
single wire and spring every lock in the
den.
Among the appurtenances in one room
is stove which will be used for burning
evidence in the event of raid. and there
are also trap-doors and secret closets in
which to hide,
The propriotors of the place will begin
operations in few days.

gave the delegates an inside view Of those
means when hs raised the standard Of re-
volt. The home club, oiias the class, con-
stituted an innermost circle Of nine mem
bers around which we're formed secret
"concentric circles" Of mines ramifying
throughout the entire district acting and
voting as . unit, and thus gaining con-
trail Of the sources Of power, all OF them
being held accountable in complicated
way to the innermost, mysterious and gov
erning the nine Of the class. OF course
1t was impossible that such conspiracy
could be enduring in an organization
like the knights of Labor. Nothing more
than the exposure made by Mr.. Dunno be-
fore the astounded body Of district dele
gates was needed for it's destruction; and
surely its destruction is necessary to the
interests Of the order, though some mem
bers high in Office have been involved in

class but according to his exposure it was
soon found that he was not the right kind
Of stuff for such = conspiracy" and for
the sake Of the order, he led the revolt
against 1t. The result was the new execu-
tive board last Sunday with Dunno as its
chairman, and the adoption Of new poll
cy somewhat similar to that which we
outlined three weeks ago.
The augury from 1t all is full of hope.
We shall now look to see the great and IA
nous ID. A. 40" freed from the fangs of
the scorpions, taking ON new life, and un-
doing the errors Of false leaders in the
past. Every true adherent Of the order
will regret the necessity Of making such
an exposure as was made by Chairman
Dunno last Sunday and reported in the
papers of the ensuing day. At the same
time every adherent will rejoice over the
prompt and decisive action that was
taken when the facts were brought to the
knowledge of the delegates.
Long live D. A. 40, strong and purified!

LABOR's NINETY AND NINE.
[Am-"Ninety and Nine"

There are ninety and nine who live and
die
In want and hunger and cold,
That one may revel in luxury
And be Tapped in its silken fold;
The ninety and nine in their novels bare,
The one in a palace in riches rare.
They toll in the fields-the ninety and
nine
For the fruits of our mother earth;
They dig and delve in the dusky mine,
And bring its treasures forth;
But the wealth released by their sturdy
blows,
To the hands of the one forever flows.
From the sweat of their brows the desert
blooms, I
And the forest before them falls;
Their labor has builded humble homes,
And cities with lofty halls;
But the one owns cities and homes and
lands, tt
While the ninety and nine have empty
hands,
But the night so dreary and dark and
long,
At last shall the morning bring;
And over the land the victor's song
OF the ninety and uine shall ring;
And echo afar from zone to zone
"Rejoice, for labor shall have its own"

A visitor to his humble home out
Fourteenth street would find himself
suddenly transported to some farmers
domicile. 1t is two-story frame cot
tage which he lives in, located close by
II market where the farmers and the
butchers bring in their products to sell
to the people. In the little room
which the Acknowledgement uses as his
library or study and where he receives
his visitors the furniture consists of
deal table, an old-fashioned rocking
chair and one or two other chairs of
little value, unless the sole object be to
furnish scat fer the weary soiourner
which will not break down under his
weight On some plain shelving and
around on the floor of the room are
stored the law books of the host, this
apparently being the extent of his IL
brary. A soap box contributed by the
grocer serves for the storage of the coal
used in keeping up the fire. The At
torncy general does not live thus for
temporary effect among his own people,
but has always done SO.
